I finally got all my daily images updated, 32 I had in the backlog, ouch! Here’s to trying to keep up on posting them on time! There were a few gems in there, some sketches where I felt things were coming together. Most of them suffered from a lack of time put into them. Most of my time was taken up with my summer class, I was okay with that since I was painting so much for my assignments. I figured when class was over, I’d get back into putting more time and effort into my daily drawings. Now that class is done with, but I have a lot work! I’m drawing all the time for it (work), but I’m still slacking on my daily’s.
I’ve seen this happen to a lot of artists, where they get their industry job and then have no time for their personal art. I’m not in the career position yet, but with these couple freelance gigs taking up a lot of my time, I’m seeing myself fall into that similar pattern of behavior. I’m glad that I’m aware of it though, it’s something I’ll try to head off before it becomes a habit. The obvious first step is not waiting until the end of the night to do my drawing/painting. By then I’m just tired and want to go to sleep, so I rush the process.
